Title: Oil Question Post by: Accord Euro-R on March 03, 2009, 10:44:37 PM Hey guys,
I was really busy last weekend and got my oil changed at JiffyLube because I just didn't have time to do it myself. Well I was looking over my receipt and it turns out they used 10W-30 instead of 5W-20 (which I know is what is supposed to be in our V6's). I'm going to take it back this weekend and have them change it regardless, but I am wondering if there's any chance of damage to my motor and if I need to get it changed back out sooner?

owell; kinda pisses me off when those fucks don't take care of their cars but they end up not messing up as much as say me (hell i took way too much care of my car and it ended up chewing itself up from the inside. well started to, that's why i got another one...) Title: Re: Oil Question Post by: timot_one on March 04, 2009, 01:26:02 AM Sorry to hear about your mishap with Jiffy Lube. I wish I could say more on your oil issue, but I would guess that you will be okay if you baby your car until you get it changed, which should be soon.
